I have a real problem with Congress asking for the names of private citizens. This morning on the news, they were broadcasting some of the hate mail these people are getting -- death threats even. It's one thing to get upset with the institution or the laws that allowed this to happen, but to go after individual people is not.

I'm not sure what happens to people that go to Washington. Even the best, high-minded people eventually seem to slide into the wink and handshake mode. I've always suspected that what were once normal people go to Washington and are constantly offered "favors" and perks and people hang onto their every word and before long, they forget what it was they started out to do.
And when everyone else is doing it, the line between right and wrong gets really fuzzy.
